Approved 6/8/2015 <br /> <br />OC Board of Adjustment – 12/08/2014 Page 5 of 49 <br /> <br /> <br />Larry Wright: This was my initial concern… the subpoena is for a future meeting and this is in the past. This whole 1 <br />agenda is in the past. How does that relate to this meeting and Mr. Taibi addressed my concerns because I didn’t 2 <br />see how it was in order here. 3 <br /> 4 <br />James Bryan: That is a question that you must allow the mover to make his case. 5 <br /> 6 <br />T.C. Morphis: If Mr. Taibi is going to cut off Mr. Harvey, I will do the same. You are jumping to jurisdictional issues 7 <br />Mr. Taibi. That is one of the core problems here tonight is there is a fundamental misunderstanding. We are getting 8 <br />right to jurisdiction now. The key issue we are asking you to decide is whether there is an illegal shooting range on 9 <br />property owned by Mr. Klein. Let me finish Mr. Taibi. 10 <br /> 11 <br />Larry Wright: Please address the Board. I will tell him. 12 <br /> 13 <br />T.C. Morphis: I apologize. Mr. Taibi in a letter to Mr. Harvey dated May 17….. 14 <br /> 15 <br />Larry Wright: You address the board sir. 16 <br /> 17 <br />T.C. Morphis: If I may, I have evidence notebooks . May I hand those out to the board or is that premature Mr. 18 <br />Chairman? 19 <br /> 20 <br />Jeff Schmitt: Is this gentleman going to give us a synopsis or is Mr. Harvey going to do it? 21 <br /> 22 <br />Larry Wright: We have been advised to start with the subpoena and so this is what we are doing. I want you to 23 <br />understand, if you are passing out notebooks, we are not going to be here until three in the morning going through 24 <br />these notebooks. We will leave at 10:30. I want you to understand what is realistic for this board to handle and you 25 <br />have a box of notebooks. 26 <br /> 27 <br />T.C. Morphis: That is one copy for each of you. 28 <br /> 29 <br />Larry Wright: I understand that. 30 <br /> 31 <br />T.C. Morphis: I merely wanted you to be able to follow along. 32 <br /> 33 <br />Larry Wright: Be succinct. 34 <br /> 35 <br />T.C. Morphis: It will help if I am not interrupted. 36 <br /> 37 <br />Larry Wright: You realize we can’t go through all this tonight. 38 <br /> 39 <br />T.C. Morphis: I don’t intend to have you do that. Most of it is for our case. I wanted the board to be able to follow 40 <br />along. The question before you is this is a shooting range. Mr. Taibi, in tab 9… 41 <br /> 42 <br />Larry Wright: Is this directly related to the subpoena? 43 <br /> 44 <br />T.C. Morphis: Yes. Mr. Klein has made representations that we believe are misguided or more likely untruthful. We 45 <br />believe we have a constitutional right and due process to cross examine him and challenge the evidence he has 46 <br />presented. Mr. Harvey’s decision was based solely on testimony and information provided by Mr. Klein. We have 47 <br />not had an opportunity to challenge that. I quite honestly think there would be people without his presence on site 48 <br />and that is an issue. I believe there are structures on site. Both of which lead to questions about his creditability and 49
